Food Donation Update:

Update as of August 2010:
We are currently accepting food donations for the animals!
Bring in your frozen fish, bread, or produce and drop it off in our bear resistant canister located next to the old admissions entrance (lower parking area).  All fish must be frozen, less than two years old, sealed in a package, and without seasonings or smoking.  If you have questions about donating carcasses or larger quantities, call (907) 346-2133 or email sjensen@alaskazoo.org.  Check here for updates as we receive them from animal staff.  We appreciate your generosity and rely on donations of fish and food for our animals throughout the year.  Thank you!
